I've found Daniel Arsham's work to be incredibly beautiful. Initially I think it must have appealed t me because of the minimalist lack of colour and the fabric textures in his sculptural work, but I also enjoy the particular objects his work is made up of. The first work of his I ever saw was Hiding Figure; while it probably wasn't the intention of the artist, the piece spoke to me of the themes I'm exploring in my own work, that is, discomfort in myself and the desire to hide when feeling confined by (usually social) circumstances.

I included one of his drawings for inspiration in possible text work. I love that while this is only one word, it's very bold, and this is still a very strong image.
